5/17/16 THE LORD TAKES PLEASURE IN SURROUNDING HIS CHILDREN WITH FAVOR AND A SHIELD

Today is day 2 of having some radiation treatments and this scripture is what He gave me to quote and pray when under the big guns.

Psalm 5:11-12 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you. 12 For you, LORD, will bless the righteous;with favor will you surround him with a shield.

UPDATE CONFIRMATION 6/07/16  QWN MEMBER

I was just praying about my children and how they need to practice safe boundaries.  Then I heard 'turtle' in my spirit.  I opened my iPad and this email came in with these two pictures side by side.  To me it means that we need to become VERY discerning about safe boundaries for those who want to practice gifts.

COMMENT SANDY:  I just went onto FB and saw something about albino animals.  So I clicked on it and this one popped up.  I never noticed that a turtle's shell (besides the obvious as a practical shield) ... it looks like the pineapple!!! 

Oh God is SO funny.  So I just went back to FB after posting this and clicked refresh.  This photo landed on the top of the page:

Oh!  This IS so funny! I did NOT connect that at all!  I thought it was just a prompt to post what I saw! I need this SO much Sandy!  To relax!  To LAUGH!  How needed, how awesome!  Thank you for sharing. 

Sandy, woohoo!  Smile!  The Lord has been weaving so much!  Yes, He is your shield, and I pray divine protection for you!

The whole of May I was popping in on pineapples, and this one stood out to me sooo much and now I thought I would share it with you! 

A Walled Garden" "makes the right climate to grow fruit".

"Walled gardens were a necessity for any great house in a northern climate in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, as a high wall of stone or brick helped to shelter the garden from wind and frost, and could create a microclimate in which the ambient temperature could be raised several degrees above that of the surrounding landscape. This allowed the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, and also of ornamental plants, which could not otherwise survive that far north."
 

SANDY MORE CONFIRMATIONS:

That same day I saw video clip on FB where someone found a whole pineapple sitting on their picnic table deck on the ocean.

INSERT WORD TO PONDER NEW LEVEL, NEW DEFENSE  1/04/13

Dear ones, the carnal man does not understand the things of God and they use the weapon of their mouths to attack My ways.  I AM activating a whole new level of defense for My own.  This will be defense from being bitten by wolves and snakes, gossip, slander and critical spirits.  Even now I am sending angelic backup to build this shield.

Your little children, they too shall be protected as I move them to new levels with you.  I AM raising up a standard and dispatching the backup needed to give a supernatural peace and refuge to My own dear ones.  My peace I give you, not as the world gives you, but the peace of My Father which surpasses all understanding.  It will guard your hearts and minds from anxiety as you make your requests known to Me.  You will find your new defense beloved ones, through prayer.

Joh 14:26

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Php 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
